Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Guidance: A guidance language for controlling large language models
This IS Microsoft Guidance, they seem to have spun off a separate GitHub organization for it.
https://github.com/microsoft/guidance redirects to https://github.com/guidance-ai/guidance now.

Llama: Add Grammar-Based Sampling
... and it sets the value of "armor" to "leather" so that you can use that value later in your code if you wish to. Guidance is pretty powerful, but I find the grammar hard to work with. I think the idea of being able to upload a bit of code or a context-free grammar to guide the model is super smart.

Introducing TypeChat from Microsoft
Here's one thing I don't get.
Why all the rigamarole of hoping you get a valid response, adding last-mile validators to detect invalid responses, trying to beg the model to pretty please give me the syntax I'm asking for...
...when you can guarantee a valid JSON syntax by only sampling tokens that are valid? Instead of greedily picking the highest-scoring token every time, you select the highest-scoring token that conforms to the requested format.
This is what Guidance does already, also from Microsoft: https://github.com/microsoft/guidance
But OpenAI apparently does not expose the full scores of all tokens, it only exposes the highest-scoring token. Which is so odd, because if you run models locally, using Guidance is trivial, and you can guarantee your json is correct every time. It's faster to generate, too!

Accessing Llama 2 from the command-line with the LLM-replicate plugin
Perhaps something as simple as stating it was first built around OpenAI models and later expanded to local via plugins?
I've been meaning to ask you, have you seen/used MS Guidance[0] 'language' at all? I don't know if it's the right abstraction to interface as a plugin with what you've got in llm cli but there's a lot about Guidance that seems incredibly useful to local inference [token healing and acceleration especially].

AutoChain, lightweight and testable alternative to LangChain
LangChain is just too much, personal solutions are great, until you need to compare metrics or methodologies of prompt generation. Then the onus is on these n-parties who are sharing their resources to ensure that all of them used the same templates, they were generated the same way, with the only diff being the models these prompts were run on.
So maybe a simpler library like Microsoft's Guidance (https://github.com/microsoft/guidance)? It does this really well.

Structured Output from LLMs (Without Reprompting!)
I am unclear on the status of the project but here is the conversation that seem to be tracking it: https://github.com/microsoft/guidance/discussions/201
-
/r/guidance is now a subreddit for Guidance, Microsoft's template language for controlling language models!
Let's have a subreddit about Guidance!
- Is there a UI that can limit LLM tokens to a preset list?
-
Any suggestions for an open source model for parsing real estate listings?
You should look at guidance for an LLM to fill out a template. Define the output data structure and provide the real estate listing in the context (see the JSON template example here https://github.com/microsoft/guidance)

Ask HN: Explain how size of input changes ChatGPT performance
You're correct with interpreting how the model works wrt it returning tokens one at a time. The model returns one token, and the entire context window gets shifted right by one to for account it when generating the next one.
As for model performance at different context sizes, it's seems a bit complicated. From what I understand, even if models are tweaked (for example using the superHOT RoPE hack or sparse attention) to be able to use longer contexts, they still have to be fined tuned on input of this increased context to actually utilize it, but performance seems to degrade regardless as input length increases.
For your question about fine tuning models to respond with only "yes" or "no", I recommend looking into how the jsonformers library works: https://github.com/1rgs/jsonformer . Essentially, you still let the model generate many tokens for the next position, and only accept the ones that satisfy certain criteria (such as the token for "yes" and the token for "no".
You can do this with openAI API too, using tiktoken https://twitter.com/AAAzzam/status/1669753722828730378?t=d_W... . Be careful though as results will be different on different selections of tokens, as "YES", "Yes", "yes", etc are all different tokens to the best of my knowledge

LLMs for Schema Augmentation
From here, we just need to continue generating tokens until we get to a closing quote. This approach was borrowed from Jsonformer which uses a similar approach to induce LLMs to generate structured output. Continuing to do so for each property using Replit's code LLM gives the following output:

Doesn't a 4090 massively overpower a 3090 for running local LLMs?
https://github.com/1rgs/jsonformer or https://github.com/microsoft/guidance may help get better results, but I ended up with a bit more of a custom solution.
